Episode 16 - Would EU like to know more?

Slightly late release here, but we're taking a little break from the election to cover something that we're all sick to death of talking around - the EU.
 
Rob leads the discussion with a primer on what the EU is, leading to some discussion on whether or not the EU could ever truly be something good, and we deep dive into the bendy banana bunker for some choice headlines in our guessing game, where the answer is always hellworld.

Episode 15 - The Clown Shoes of Respect

We've survived war christmas, and we didn't even have to travel back to 2016 to do it!
 
Another week of news, another series of self-owns, including the Brexit Party collapsing in on itself, the Lib Dem's making sure they follow the lead of another protest vote party and doing the same, Johnson attempting to appear as if he didn't fall out of a spacecraft and Swinson fully embracing the death of humility.
Also, David unleashes a special article to Alasdair's torment, and all it cost him was 5p on a plastic bag.

Episode 14 - Campaigning and You

It's election season, and that means that loads of people are going from door to door to get their party's message out. In this episode, Michael, Seb, Chris and our guest Alicia talk about what's involved in campaigning, how to navigate the kinds of questions that come up on the doorstep, how to contribute if the doorstep isn't your thing, and just generally why it's a good thing to do!
We also cover the concept of Purdah, with a handy briefing on what it encompasses and how you can spot potential breaches of such.

Episode 12 - Power-Ups in a Union

Video games are fun, but have you ever worked in the Video Game industry? Turns out, it can be a bit worse than you might expect. Join us to hear some of the awful things the industry has done, and some of the good news around changing practices as workers start to organise. Also, rather than Comment or Commentariat, we play "Guess the Scandal", which is sure to be fun for all the family.

Episode 11 - Swindling Here!

It's election time!
 
Hosting the celebrations are Rob, Natalie, Alasdair, Jon and Xander. A little look on the news, including the people who are getting out of dodge before we see ++ HUMILIATION FOR THEM ++ in the papers, and a nice look at the Lib Dem strategy of just outright lying about how graphs and numbers work. Also, Comment or Commentariat takes a turn for poor Alasdair.

Episode 10 - Tangible Schadenfreude

It's news again this week, wherein we do our best to explain how the hell an election actually works because of the Fixed Term Parliament Act and how it gives so much scope for the tories to do as they please around it. Also, another terrible article about the Home Secretary Priti Patel, and a game of Comment or Commentariat to establish whomst is the better of the James'.

Episode 9 - A Smooth Brain Bouncing Around a Frictionless Skull

We're back!
 
Sorry for the late release, but we're back with an almost full episode. We recorded this before Parliament's Super Saturday, so we've just chopped out the Brexit update, so instead, we've got some of the lesser reported parts of last week's news, as well as an article in which Toby Young starts with a fair point and ends with brain spiders, Comment or Commentariat, and a bunch of promises on our part that we really hope aren't hollow!

Sam - too good for twitter

Episode 8 - What if the planet, but on fire?

We did it, we finally got some time and a break in the news to do a climate change episode! Hooray! Come join Natalie, Rob, Matty, James, and Dan for a wonderful adventure into the burning hellworld that is our planet.
 
As well as a look at how capitalism ruins everything it touches, there's a dip into climate activism - from the mass engagement of Gen Z with FridaysforFuture, to the mass engagement of Extinction Rebellion activists with the police - a raft of potential solutions to climate change including the idea of the Green New Deal, and in place of Comment or Commentariat, a game of Capitalist or Supervillian (but I repeat myself)

Episode 7 - Atomic Kitten Malthusian

To cap off Conference Season, it's unfortunately time to cover the Tories. Join us for a look at the absolutely baffling lack of new ideas, and the horrifying doubling down on some of the older stuff.
 
On this week's episode, Jon makes his first appearance alongside Alasdair, Jamie, Rob & David, not just for the conference, but for some coverage of the news (there's good stuff this week!), an article that combines bootlicking with being horny on main, and Comment or Commentariat.
